Update: Well that was quick… LuaPlayer Euphoria V2 is now available.

Based on LuaPlayer v0.20 by Shine, Zack, whom you likely recognize from other PSP development projects, has released LuaPlayer Euphoria V1.

I’ll let Zack lay it out so you can play it out –

It can display images up to 100% faster than the default LuaPlayer, by automatically swizzling the images as there loaded.

It also features Mp3 support. This is done on the main processor for now. Don’t worry however, this is a optimized mp3Player. Whilst displaying a 480×272 image and playing a Mp3 file, LuaPlayer Euphoria can achieve up to 228 FPS (Frames Per Second) running at only 222mhz!. (SEE SAMPLE DEMO FOR PROOF!)

It also features CPU Speed control. Which can be done by the user. So you can set the PSP’s CPU to either: 100, 222, 266 or 333mhz.

Another feature, albeit trivial, is a built in FPS Function. By simply calling “showFPS()” you can see your game/applications current FPS out of 60 frames. If you want to see its “True” FPS, comment out screen.waitVblankStart and pad = Controls.Read() – as these cap the framerate to 60.

The last feature (so far) is the ability to properly free images. I don’t know if this worked before but anyway… Simply call “freeImage(myImage)” (with myImage being the image you want to free) and it will remove the image from memory. It goes without saying that you should not be displaying the image your trying to free at the time of freeing it.

+ A lot more to come!
